On the eve of completing its 49th birthday, the CDS-PP promises to return to the Assembly of the Republic.
“The past two years have been one of resistance and reorganization and 2023 will mark the cycle of growth that will bring the party back to the Assembly of the Republic,” the party’s president, Nuno Melo, said in a note to DN.
It is this Wednesday, July 19, that the CDS-PP celebrates its 49th birthday and the date will be commemorated with a large social dinner on the 21st in Câmara de Lobos, in the autonomous region of Madeira, where Nuno will be present Melo, but also with Rui Barreto (Chairman of CDS-PP Madeira), alongside other national and regional leaders of the party.
“The CDS-PP is an essential party and founder of Portuguese democracy. But the CDS-PP is much more than history. It remains indispensable in the municipalities, in the Autonomous Regions of the Azores and Madeira, in the European Parliament, the take the lead in many proposals that help to improve the lives of the Portuguese” says Nuno Melo.
This is because, he adds, “the CDS-PP is the only right-wing party in Portugal with credibility and administrative experience and remains a benchmark from a political point of view: Christian Democratic, humanist and personalist, open to liberal and conservative currents”.
It was on July 19, 1974 that 29 Portuguese personalities signed a statement of principles, creating the CDS. “The party was born to build in Portugal a society inspired by Portugal’s democratic and humanist values,” the note reads.
